RUSSIA'S POSITION.

ACCORDING TO HERSELF. The Central News received last month from an authoritative Russian source the following statement for publication explaining Russia's Position in the Far East and her attitude toward Japan:-

Russia has a civilising commission in Man. charia. She has spent £100,000,000 on the Siberian railway alone, enabling the Eugliat mails to reach China in twenty-three days, as compared with forty days over the old route. Russia has vast interests in the country. The Chinese previously could never live in the coun try ander the rule of the Mandarins without dis

Finally, at the last orders, but with the advent of the Siberian rail. between them; and the children of the testator's sceond wife, by her first husband, living at tho. time of the tesictor's death, ought to here the remaining share divided equally among them. It must be borno in taind that leaseholds are immovable property, and Mr. Dicey accurately lays down, in his "Conflict of Laws," the proposition that, "Generally speaking, all questions touching the validity, corstruction, and effect of wills relating to immovables are determined by the lez situs It was stated that the excentors have sold the leaseholds, but in this case I think the "proceeds" should be dealt with in the same way as the "income" would have been, had the "iouseholds not been sold. I expressed my views as to the construction of this will in September, 1902, but it was represented to me by the counsel for the exventore that when the testator need the

In conclusion I may add that some of the Portuguese experts, in giving their stations in the Black Sea or in the Baltic, or even Great Britain in say part of the world. opinion suggest that the testator has included in the louselokis bequeathed by him his wife's interest therein, and that he could only bequeath But all nations must have an equal chance of what balongest wolely to himself. That is a eristence. The United States have spent question partly of fuck on which I offer no opinion upon the present occasion, and I pay nothing on the Panama Canal, but the United mention the matter at all. because I wish States Goverznient, if anybody was to interfere it to be understood that the construction with that canal, would consider it an unfriendly of the will is not affected by las alle nct. While the United States had not spent tion,

even it should turn out to he correct, that the testator gave more than anything upon the Panama Canal, Russia had belonged to him. What would pass by the will spent a billion roubles, or over a bundred million power is bequeath, and that is the property which caust be divided in the manner I bave indicated. In all the circumstances I allow the casts of both sides to come out of the estate, to be taxed as between solicitor and client.

Russia is in a similar position is Mazeburín, except that that country is on her owa borders, and therefore a more important consideration. America considered she was withja her rights to 'impose on Cuba all those conditione, and to keep ell benefit from trade exclusively for the United States. When any foreign Power, incinding Great Britain, protested, the United States simply sat down on that protest. That was known sa the Mource Doctrine.

Then turn to what America bas doon in the Philippines. By the Treaty of Paristhe future of the Philippine Iɛionda isad to be decided accord ing to the mutual agreement of bith contracting The first thing Prezident McKinley Parties. ordered the Commissioners in Paris to do was to demand the Philippines as the right of con- guest, and to gire Spain 20.000.000dols, for the islands.

Again, certain newspapers in the United States are crowing very londly-from the tops of the roof, in fact-about pledges. No writies pledges have been given by Russia regarding

Mancharin. The question has already been discussed with various Powers by the Tsar's

Government. But so indefluite are the demanda of the other Powers regarding Manchuria that the Russian Government does not know exactly what they want. If by asking for a policy of the Open Door in. Manchuria it is meant that Russia must not have power to impose some preferential tariff in favour of Russian goods that would be definite, bat such a proposition has never boon slatod. Therefore the so-called pledges do not exist, and nothing bas over taken place in connection with the matter begond friendly conversation,

acquainted with that law, having at one time been noting Chief Justica of Mavus, and I under stood it was suggested they had a some what different meaning in Portugues law from what they bad in English law. I, therefore allowed the parties to obtain and lay before me the evidence of experts in Portuguese law, which,

воств

I am informed, is identical, in this instance, with the law of Macao, as to the meaning of the passage in the will containing those expres Bions, according to the Portuguese law. Un- fortunately, the opinions of the experts are by no menne unanimous, and most of them do not confine those opinions to the precine peint I wanted to know. It Bow, however, clear да I always expected that the terms in stirpes and in capita mean precisely the same in Portuguese law as in Eng- lish law, Those expression's have been imported from the Roman law into the English law, as well is into the law of Portugal, and of those olher European nations whose law is, more or less, directly founded on Roman law. Thay were expressions familiar to the Roman lawyers, and their meaning is clear ebengl. In the third book of Justinian's Institutes, compiled in the first half of the sixth century, they aro used will the same mesuing as they have now. See title 1, head 6. It seems, therefore, ebrions to me that, when the testator said be wishes the property divided in stirpes et non in capita between our children of the first and second marriages, he meant that he did not wish each child to have an equal share, but that ha wished the children of his first marrisge to bave one share between them, the children of his second marriage another, and the children of
